Great Wall and meet-and-greet with giant panda Gu Gu cap Melania Trump’s China trip

While the US president jetted off to Vietnam to lay out his vision for US engagement in Asia on Friday, his wife stayed behind in Beijing for a trip to the capital’s zoo and the Great Wall.

Melania Trump was greeted at the zoo in the morning by a group of schoolchildren who performed a Chinese folk song.

The group had been among the welcome party for the Trumps at the Great Hall of the People on Wednesday.

One of the performers, 10-year-old Zhu Jie, said she was impressed by the American couple and was already considering moving to the United States when she grew up.
